There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

We will get together when Teddys up and going good. You take care of what is #1 first. I am sure there may be a few other folks that would like to join for a ride through Cincy. Best wishes to you and Teddy on Friday. Sounds like it is the best option.

WOW, the SpYderLovers Community is the BEST
Thanks so much. GPS is just a tool, & my droid will do the job, so no worries there.
Thank you
Thank you, Ive been overwhelmed by the support & caring of the SpyderLovers Community, thats for sure. I'll update more as things progress.Thanks for the update on the Tedster. Those of us who have furkids can certainly relate to your deep concern for his wellbeing. And at times like this, ya gotta do what ya gotta do.
You know your Spyderlovers family will be praying for you both and looking forward to hearing how things go during surgery.
:thumbup:ray:
Thank you. We are truly blessed, thats for sure.
On Teddys 2010 :ani29: I bought an extended cord from Verizon, and yes, I ran it from the rear trunk plug, up under the seat, and to the Droid in the cradle above the glove box. Worked well last year, but I'm going to change the set-up on his new 2011 :spyder2: & mount it above the dash right under the shield & have it hard wired into the analogue gas gauge that I dont use anymore. Think it will work well, but havent done it yet. Thanks for your well wishes for Teddy.
Thank You.
Thank You for the support & let me know when you guys are ready :thumbup:

Hope everything comes out good for the little guy--- been down that road on getting expensive care done for dogs. I'm fortunate to have Michigan State University close by - but man can things get costly quick (bloat surgury $2,300). My Newf had his own cardiologist and it was easily $500 every time we went.... but they're family-- money well spent!
Keep us updated!

I don't know what else to say, but THANK YOU!
I'm really struggling for words here. My emotions are all over the place & it's hard for me to properly communicate them, so I apologize in advance for my ramblings.
Back in March of 2010 was the 1st time I ever saw a SpYder, it was an all white RS model leaving the parking lot at my work. As soon as I saw it, as many of you can relate, I was bitten:helpsmilie: It became an addiction for me, staying up all hours of the night researching on the Net, day after day, the good, the bad, the ugly:dontknow: I just couldn't get enough:gaah:
Found I have a local dealer not 15 minutes from my home (whom I DONT recommendnojoke) so I took Teddy with me to do some hands on research. I shoulda ran away as soon as I figured out that, from all my research, I knew more about the SpYder than the actual salesman did:lecturef_smilie: I listened intently while he was giving a demo & Ryde to a fellow interested buyer & I kept interjecting with little things the salesman "forgot" to mention:dontknow: He looked at me and asked if I already owned one, to which I just replied, "Nope, just been doing my homework."
I've always wanted a motorcycle, but the high risk of laying one down & doing serious damage to the bike, or even worse, to myself kept me from even exploring the realm of two wheelers. But with the Y architecture of the SpYder, not to mention all the safety features, that issue had been solved. So now, my issue was how do I Ryde with Teddy by my side? Teddy & I spent about 6 hours that day alone in the showroom. I came prepared with his travel food & water bowl with us & he had dinner right there on the showroom floor
hyea:while playing with kids who's parents were looking around as well.
I was enticed by the RS, but once I saw the RT in the middle of the showroom floor, I was done:firstplace: It was a Full Moon Silver RT-AC. The 1st one they ever had. Since it was SO BRAND SPANKING NEW, He wouldn't let anyone test Ryde it. He said, "you can test ryde the RS models all day long, it's pretty close to the same Ryde, but the RT is going to be even more comfortable. If you like the RS, you can put a $1000 deposit down on an RT & we'll have it here in 2-3 weeks. If you don't like it then, I'll give you your deposit back."
I wish I had taken pictures back then like I do now, but I didn't get a single one at the time:lecturef_smilie: You shoulda seen us tho, trying every which way to sit on the RT & see how I could manage with Teddy as well:dontknow: knowing that he'd be safe & comfortable was more important to me than anything. The sales guy suggested I put Teddy up in the Frunk, but knowing Teddy doesn't like being enclosed, I didn't explore that option much. That's when the salesman suggested I get the RT622 trailer & get it modded for ventilation and so Teddy could see out, & yeah, I thought, you know, that just might work:thumbup:
The 2 ladies that work there were laughing at us all day long :roflblack: cause they knew I was hooked & if I could figure a way to make it work with Teddy, I was gonna make it happen, and like many, they hadn't seen a SpYder Ryde'n Pooch yet & the novelty left them in giggles :roflblack:
Once I figured the trailer & SpYder combo would work for Teddy & I, done deal. Teddy gets the best:firstplace: so I ordered a Timeless Black RT-S with the SE5 transmission. I figured being a new ryder, i want things as easy as possible so i can pay attention to the road, & also to Teddy:2thumbs: Here's yur grand, I'll see you in 3 weeks.
So yeah, long story not so short, Teddy IS the very reason we originally got into the SpYder Community in the 1st place:firstplace: If someone woulda told me back then, how the SpYder would come to change our lives, I woulda laughed in their face & said, "yeah, right."
And now look at what has come to be. Teddy no longer belongs to me
:firstplace:BUT TO ALL OF THE SPYDERLOVERS COMMUNITY :bowdown:
I will never forget our last appearance at SpyderFest 2011, when we went to Cowtown, right before the parade, to let Len & everyone else know that we had an emergency & sadly had to leave. When we started pulling into the Way Over Crowded parking lot, I heard a female scream out, :yes:"OH MY GOD!!! I KNOW THAT DOG!!!:yes: & then we were so mobbed with Teddys fans taking pictures and wanting to meet the lil guy & pet him, that we couldn't even move:helpsmilie::roflblack:
It's all grown into something SO MUCH BIGGER THAN JUST US and I'm just lucky enough to be along for the Ryde with my best buddy. How does one say THANK YOU for all of the CARING, LOVE & SUPPORT that THIS :firstplace:SPYDERLOVERS COMMUNITY:firstplace: has shown us? You guys ARE THE BEST:firstplace: ***THANK YOU***

I know you are worried about Teddy needing too wear the hard plastic cone. There are alternatives. I only sent the one link.
Do a search for "soft e-collar" or "Comfy Cone". Soft Elizabethan collar.

Keep'n the Faith, having gratitude & paying it forward.
That's what we intend to do, buddy. Show up & see all those smile'n faces & to thank y'all in person:2thumbs:
Thanks so much for the link, I'm looking into them now. The vet said it just all depends on how he acts toward his incision if he has to wear one or not:lecturef_smilie: I know with it hurt'n like it is now, he tends to gnaw at it. I put a lil cheyan pepper sauce on it & that stopped the gnawing, so I may try something similar after his surgery if his vet agrees:thumbup:

surgery day
Wow, what a way to start. Got Teddy ready & all set to go & BAM, I havent driven my car in so long, dead battery, I mean nothing. So, the brief rain we had this morning was over, so we ended up taking Teddy's Spyder to the vet. He's there now, no doubt still bouncing off the walls like when I left him. More later.

Surgery Update
Just talked with Teddy's vet & surgery was a complete success. Said out of hundreds she's done, he had in the top 5 of the flattest patellas she's ever seen, so she did have to cut a groove in his bone to give his ligament a place to rest without so easily popping out of place. Said he just started lifting his lil head. I'm sad I can't be there right now, but I'll be heading his way at 2:30.
GREAT NEWS: SHE GAVE HIM THE GREEN LIGHT TO MAKE THE BAR-B-Q & MAGGIE VALLEY EVENTS!
This would not be possible without all of your support. SPYDERLOVERS ROCK!!!

So glad to hear the good news. I have been following Teddy since I met him at SpyderFest. I know you will take good care of him, give him a kiss for me and don't let him do too much. He can ride his Spyder and you can carry him everywhere else. I too have gone through knee surgery with one of my dogs several years ago. Just so glad he is going to be good as new.:2excited:hyea:hyea::yes::yes::yes::yes::yes::yes:
